WestOfBen Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi everyone! I have a 4th gen with weeping right front brake line. These are a 3 line setup. Nobody seems to make 3 line braided kits for 4th gen and I would rather not go custom, but I will if needed. HEL seem to make a 3 line kit for 3rd gen 90-93. The question is - are 3rd and 4th gen near identical or close enough that this kit would fit my 4th gen? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupedupsubie Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 From looking at part data it looks as though they are identical. Although a nice braided 2 line setup is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted March 1, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted March 1, 2019 I cannot see the need to duplicate a three-line set-up in braided, when a 2-line is cheaper, simpler and easier to bleed! Ciao, JZH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MooseMoose Posted March 1, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted March 1, 2019 I was using a 2 line setup with a double banjo. Was a little fussy to bleed that banjo the first time, but once I got it bled it was beautiful, worked great, and was easy to maintain -- I tended to swap out the fluid when changing pads and bleeding was a breeze.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 2, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2019 I had a 3 line setup from Goodridge on redslut, simply to mimick the oem look. Yes, it has one extra "potential point of failure". But in all my years of mc I have yet to hear one actually occurring. 3rd and 4th gen lines are interchangeable afaik. Else measure what you have now and ask HEL. They are a great company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestOfBen Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Great replies, thanks guys! If I have to go with two line then I will. Maintaining three line is for keeping stock. I guess there ain't much to brake lines in any case. Honda don't have a habit of changing some things. Brake lines are more or less brake lines, right? (gross oversimplification I know). I'll get in touch with HEL. Actually got that partially wrong. HEL do a 3 + 1 (front and rear) kit. Venhill I found a kit for also - model HON-7015F. Any experience with Venhill?
